CA IDMS must implement NIST FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules to protect data-in-transit.

Description
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated. It is the responsibility of the data owner to assess the cryptography requirements in light of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards. For detailed information, refer to NIST FIPS Publication 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. Note that the product's cryptographic modules must be validated and certified by NIST as FIPS-compliant.

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 7 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Verify that connection to IDMS is FIPS-compliant. 1. For ODBC and JDBC Type 2 connections: a. Configure the Data Source to enable the DTS-JCLI logging option. b. Perform a connection test using the "Test" function on the administrator. c. View the generated log entries to determine the TLS version, cipher algorithm, and certificate employed. 2020/04/27 09:51:41.946 P:0000502C T:00005DC8 JCLI Trace: SSL_connect(832) successful! 2020/04/27 09:51:41.946 P:0000502C T:00005DC8 JCLI Trace: SSL_connect(832) connection attempts: 1 2020/04/27 09:51:41.947 P:0000502C T:00005DC8 JCLI Trace: SSL_connect(832) TLS version TLSv1.2 2020/04/27 09:51:41.947 P:0000502C T:00005DC8 JCLI Trace: SSL_connect(832) cipher TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 (this should be one or more of the accepted ciphers) Cipher Specifications 3DES_SHA AES_256_SHA AES_128_SHA If connection is not verified this is a finding. 2. For all connection types: IBM provides configuration options for multiple SSL components, to force FIPS-140 compliance. a. System SSL: The environment variable GSK_FIPS_STATE specifies GSK_FIPS_STATE_ON in the envar file in the GSKSRVR home directory or message "GSK01057I SSL server starting in FIPS mode" is in the JES log. b. ICFS: Review the JES log for the ICSF region for the following message is issued on startup CSFM015I FIPS 140 SELF CHECKS FOR PKCS11 SERVICES SUCCESSFUL.
